A few observations with my new Leon and its media plus system

That's because the video capability isn't advertised as a feature and so the cable doesn't have the relevant pins to output video from an iOS device.
Yes, the cable subject must be clarified. As far as I understand there are two types of iPod cables:
1) This cable only supports music playing from iPod.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/251354760277?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Part number is 000 051 446 C
2) The cable below supports both music and video.
Part number is 000 051 446 M (It has a red part)
The guy who added a video about playing movie from iPod at Youtube also use the second cable. But I couldn't find it at Ebay or anywhere else.

Found one on Amazon with a review from a Leon owner: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Volkswagen-Golf-Mark-Collar-000051446M/dp/B00CDMZLZC

What is a "red collar cable" and do you know where you can you get them? I'm collecting my new Leon FR TSI1.8 DSG 5-Door on Friday and I would like to check if I can play videos from my iPod Classic connected to the Media System Plus system.
Sorry! I somehow missed page 2 of this post with useful extra information about cables.

I think 2, that's what mine came with
The aux is just a connection point in the glove box requires just a 3.5mm jack lead so does not come with the car
The other 2 do come supplied as they are special fitment on the car end I.E. not something you would pick up in pc world
Anyway that's what I got and is my take on it
Any advance on 2 supplied leads? Anyone lol
Cheers, I don't remember seeing the aux port in the car I test drove, just the MDI port. I will add to my list of delivery checks.
No prob
My apologies, you are right there is no aux port, I've just checked,was sure there was one but I must of confused it with my mk2 leon which had one
I'm now wondering why it says aux in the manual and on the infotainment system if it does not have one ?

My FR with standart 5" screen (No satnav or 5.8 option) doesnt have MDI, it just has a usb-in and aux-in in the glove-box and SD card input on the front panel, just under the touch screen, that might be what you have seen
So i guess no video playback for me anyways
BBC World Service's logo shows up automatically on the stereo in my car. The others stations are empty, though.
This thread - http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=383299 suggested a download for icons you can use on the radio. You have to manually add them though.
Right!! Just picked up my FR and everything in Media plus works fine except trying to connect my sansadisk mp3 player. Read the manual and see the source button where you are supposed to be able to press it and choose USB. When you initially plug the media in to the MP3 player it "sees" the device but and says it is uploading but then defaulrs to "no information available. Bluetooth phone connection to my HTC phone is fine and CD and radio and satnav. Anyone have any ideas on how to choose/ get it to see my MP3 connected via media in cable?
I bought the red collar cable with a view to showing album art etc from my iPod Classic. When I plugged it in however the Media Plus system did not recognize the device? Anyone any ideas? The supplied blue collar cable works fine for sound & does give track information. Just seems the red collar one is incompatible somehow? It is the OEM VW 000 051 446 M that I bought btw. Car is 1.8TSi FR DSG Technology & after waiting 7 months for delivery (long story!) I am dead chuffed with everything about it!
